Canadian Pizza Friday

Welcome all to the first Pizza Pizza Friday! I have talked to others about pizza and Canada and a few have commented on how they didn't think Canada had much pizza. Well let me tell you; Canada has the most pizza placed per cubic foot than any country I have ever been to. A major chain there called Pizza Pizza, whose logo font looks exactly like Little Caesars (not to mention their slogan), are located right next to an actual Little Caesars Pizza. While driving through Canada, I would usually see one to two pizza places in each shopping center. So needless to say, Canada likes its pizza. Which is good to know since Canadian Pizza on 4th and Almond Ave. in Long Beach has great pizza.

We ordered their house pizza called the "Canadian" which comes with Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, Green Peppers, Sausage & (Olives or Feta). When ordering, the guy on the phone said he'd give us both toppings for the same price because I "have a nice voice" (Jessica).  We also ordered the "Meat Lover" which comes with Pepperoni, Sausage, Ground Beef, Canadian Bacon & Ham. The most noticeable difference in their pizza is the crust. It's like a good baguette; its super crispy on the outside and incredibly soft and moist on the inside. Even the bottom crust of the pizza is crispy and sturdy. It also has a unique texture where flaky bread crumbs cover the entire crust, including the bottom of the pizza. The toppings are hearty and bold and just taste really good. There's not much in the way of seating at the store, so Canadian Pizza is best consumed at home while watching a movie.

It was steaming when we opened the box, even though we were late picking it up.

Meat Lover and Canadian.

Well cooked...just the way I like it!

This is the kind of pizza that makes us look forward to Saturday (leftovers). -Lorne and Jessica
